I was asked to give my opinion on the personal library of JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
The poor fellow cannot, I fear, be congratulated on his literary judgement. Despite his thousands of millions of dollars, he appears to have been in possession of precisely three books worth reading, & it is doubtful that he even read them himself————and even there, I would insist he has selected the wrong translation of ARABIAN NIGHTS, which is a feat of discernment in reverse. He chose the second best translation (Andrew Lang's) when he ought obviously to have chosen the best (Sir Richard Francis Burton's unexpurgated ediition).
A proper library, of course, should consist overwhelmingly of pre-20th century literature———at minimum 99.9%———and even the remaining fraction of 20th-century material ought to be concentrated before about 1930, after which the quality of literature, already in a state of decline, begins to deteriorate with astonishing rapidity. Yet Epstein's library is 99% 21st century rubbish.
ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER'S ESSAYS is at least a sensible inclusion, thouh I suspect Epstein has chosen some regrettable contemporary translation, as is the habit of most midwits, who seem constitutionally incapable of recognising that Englis was better written in the nineteenth century than it is today. Zimmern's translation, of course, ought properly to have been selected; it has that agreeable Victorian firmness of phrase which makes German philosphy seem faintly intelligent, whereas today's translations of foreign classics tend to read as if they were Englished by a comittee & apologised for in advance.
ORIGIN OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE BREAKDOWN OF THE BICAMERA MIND, by Julian Jaynes, is certainly worth reading, though i am not oblged to agree with its thesis; nonetheless, it contains a number of suggestive points, & a quantity of truly interesting material.
PHYSICS OF IMMORTALITY was, I recall, faintly amusing when I read it, though I was about ten years old at the time, & even then it did not strike me as an especially profound contribution to human thought. Still, it contains the occasional interesting thought.
The remainder of the list, however, is pure tosh, & not worth reading at all, & I include LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN in this condemnation: particularly if you happen to agree with the core tenets of his philosphy, in which case you are, in fact, especially obliged not to read him.

Going for the block after being humiliated like that was the only option you had left.
